Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro]
C#m

[Verse]
C#m
I could have sworn I killed a man last night
C#m/A F# G#
Moving through the crosswalk while I had a green light
C#m/C#
The painted lines were on the far side of the hill
C#m/A F# G#
By the time I saw him it was too late

[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But I felt no impact
A
Saw no body in the rear view
E
So I kept on driving
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G#7 A Am
Is I don't believe that things that happen really happen

[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little truth out of my lies?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m A G#
Would it make you come back home again?

[Verse]
C#m
I'm hearing voices when I sleep at night
C#m/A F# G#
Feel the room around me shifting as it's changing sides
C#m G# E
Each night I fall into the arms of a woman
G#
She is singing me to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But I wake alone
A
In a single room apartment
E
I turn off the television
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G# A Am
Is I don't believe the things that happen really happen

[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little truth out of my lies?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m A G#
Would it make you come back home again?

[Verse]
C#m
I could have sworn I made it home last night
C#m/A F# G#
I had a couple of drinks but figured I could walk alright
C#m
I saw the lights on at my place across the street and I
C#m/A F# G# A G#7
Thought I'd fall asleep to the sound of traffic passing by

[Pre-Chorus]
A E
But then I stumbled forward
A
And the headlights come upon me
E
And I'm off the windshield bleeding out onto the concrete
A E
What I'm really trying to tell you
G# A Am
Is I don't believe that things that happen really happen

[Chorus]
E G#7
What if I'm right?
C#m B E Am E
Could I squeeze a little air back in these lungs to give me life?
E G#7
If I gain control
C#m B E A G#
I would stand back up and run to you and call whatever ground you stand on home
